In that case "nmap" should show port 631 as open and

sudo lsof | grep -i 'cupsd.*TCP' 

should output a line or two showing that CUPS is listening for print
requests:

$ sudo lsof | grep -i 'cupsd.*TCP'
[sudo] password for kiwi: 
cupsd    2625   root 13u   IPv4   13958   0t0  TCP *:ipp (LISTEN)
cupsd    2625   root 14u   IPv6   13959   0t0  TCP *:ipp (LISTEN)

I trimmed a bit of space from those lines so they don't wrap. Telnet
should also connect to CUPS with the command

telnet localhost 631

Here's what I got:

$ telnet localhost 631
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed.

If neither of these succeed, then the web config is being economical
with the truth and your cupsd is not listening for TCP connections..
